Patient's question:
Doctor, my child suddenly had a seizure and collapsed during class at school. He was taken to the hospital, and we were all terrified. The doctor told us that our child has epilepsy. No one in our family has this condition, so how could he have it? We feel very confused, but we don’t know how to treat him. I heard from a roadside advertisement that traditional Chinese medicine can help. Can traditional Chinese medicine cure epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
If epilepsy reoccurs, it can be treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but it cannot quickly control the condition. Therefore, it is best to combine it with Western medicine treatment. The treatment method should still be determined based on the patient's specific symptoms. If neither approach achieves good control, acupuncture therapy or surgical treatment can be considered. If the condition is mild, TCM treatment alone may be sufficient.
